SUMMER is fast approaching and motorists need to ensure that along with the more pleasant weather, their cars, and their attitudes on the road, also need to be in tip-top shape. Drivers need to make sure their cars are in good condition, especially if they are looking at taking advantage of the warmer weather to make longer journeys.
If you are going on holiday, even if it is a long weekend, or if you will be using your car more now than in winter, it is important to ensure it is ready for the change in the weather. Driving in summer months is different to driving in winter, especially inland, and there are a few things people must check before it is too late.
Among the important items that motorists should check are their windscreens, wipers and tyres. It is also important that vehicles be visible at all times, including at night. For this reason, owners should ensure their lights (front and back) and indicators are also working properly.
